Below are some answers to frequently asked questions about Fort Wayne Improv. If you have a question that we haven’t covered on the site, please don’t hesitate to ask us.
Where do I park?
Available parking is highlighted in GREEN (hover over the image) below. We have LIMITED parking spots behind the building, but be careful not to park on the south side of the lot. Those are our amazingly patient neighbors’ spots. Anywhere you see a Fort Wayne Improv (or Bigtooth Co.) parking sign is up for grabs, and our amazing neighbors are also allowing us to use the State Farm-labeled parking spots behind the building. If those are taken, there’s plenty of street parking on California and Alabama. We ALSO have amazing neighbors on the north side of E. State Blvd. in Painted Lady and the Allen County Public Library. Please be extremely respectful of our neighbors’ properties. They are kind enough to let us use their space, and we don’t want to damage that relationship. The library, in particularly, has 24-hour book drop boxes that we do NOT want to block. Also, BE CAREFUL crossing the street if you park on the north side of State (or as a general rule)! If you’re a visual learner, just check out the below image (the highlighted green areas are the parking places where you WON’T get towed).
What rating of content should I expect?
Most of our shows are fully improvised. We try not to exceed a PG-13 rating, but because our shows are spontaneous and because we encourage our performers to perform freely, we cannot guarantee that a scene won’t lead us down a more adult path. As we grow, we will have more kid- and family-friendly options for both shows and classes.
What types of payment do you accept?
Basically, anything but cash. Traditionally, improv theaters rely on their community members to do jobs at the theater, including service jobs. We want to keep those jobs as simple for our employees as possible, and eliminating the need for a cash drawer makes those jobs MUCH easier. Plus, we don’t have to remember to get cash before a show night.
